Dismounting The Threaded Ratchet - DT SWISS RATCHET EXP Technical Manual

2.6 DISMOUNTING THE THREADED RATCHET

Due to the torque which acts on the threaded ratchet during pedaling, the threaded ratchet
tightens during riding. We recommend loosening the ratchet only when the wheel is complete as
the lever is much larger.
1. Clamp the mounting / dismounting tool for
the threaded ratchet into the vice.
2. Fit the hub or wheel onto the tool in such a
way that the teeth of the tool engage in the
teeth of the threaded ratchet.
3. Insert the axle with the long side first into
the hub and through the threaded ratchet.
→ If the axle is inserted through the ratchet
with the short side first, the tool is not
sufficiently guided. The axle, the ratchet
or the tool can be damaged.
4. Push the installation cylinder onto the non
drive side of the hub.
5. Loosen and screw off the ratchet by turning
the hub counterclockwise.
→ While unscrewing the threaded ratchet,
some pressure should be applied to the
hub from above so that the tool engages
securely in the ratchet at all times.
6. Remove the hub from the tool.
7. Remove the ratchet with the bearing.
